A algunas personas les gusta decir que libros como El Principito son libros que podrían leer una y otra vez en varios momentos de su vida. Bueno, para mí, The Picture of Dorian Gray es eso. Contados con una mano son aquellos libros de los que puedo tomar frases reflexivas e inspiracionales y no cans...
This was my first experience with Oscar Wilde outside of a classroom and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well, most of it. Chapter eleven did its level best to shrivel my eyes out of my sockets with its extreme dryness, but the rest of it was pretty darn good. I went in expecting a horrid Gothic tale, but ...
I give it 3.5 stars. I had high expectations of this book, because of several people telling me how much they like it. Then somewhere during the third chapter or so, I fell asleep while reading...I NEVER fall asleep while reading. Maybe it was just the heat (around 35 degrees in the room I was readi...

I mean everything that I have said. I have the greatest contempt f...
At first I thought the Cartesian dualism of the book, dividing body and soul, was really going to bug me. But then I was intrigued by how the premise was actually a fascinating exploration the mind-body connection. Wilde did a great job of upping the stakes, upping the tension, upping the misery f...
Now this was an odd- ball. First I would like to say that, for me, books written in the 1800s are quite "difficult" to get through.
